Best Public Schools in Zip Code 95673

This analysis covers seven schools serving grades K-12 in the Rio Linda, CA area (zip code 95673), including three elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school, and one alternative K-12 charter, with most belonging to the Twin Rivers Unified district.

Among these schools, Heritage Peak Charter stands out for exceptional performance, including 0% chronic absenteeism and the highest science proficiency, despite having the lowest spending per student. Rio Linda High also shows a notable strength with a graduation rate of 95.9%, far exceeding state and district averages, though it faces challenges with math proficiency and high chronic absenteeism. For middle schools, Westside Preparatory Charter ranks the highest with strong ELA scores and lower absenteeism.

The overall educational landscape in this area presents both bright spots and significant challenges. While individual schools demonstrate success, the broader Twin Rivers Unified district struggles with very high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. Academic performance varies widely between schools, with a clear correlation between lower absenteeism and higher test scores, but no consistent link between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes across the district.
